LAWTON, Okla. - Though D.J. Ward may have left the Lawton Wolverines last summer that doesn't mean his effects aren't still being felt at one of the state's most talent-rich programs. One inevitable reality at schools who see the level of talent that Randy Breeze's does is the old adage that 'iron sharpens iron'.

It's cliché but for Lawton, it seems to have been the truth.

And funny enough, when SoonerScoop.com had a chance to watch Ward's old school it came while watching his current high school, Southmoore during the Sabercats crucial 20-17 victory. Though Ward only spent one spring practicing against the player who looks most likely to be the Wolverines next elite recruit there can be little doubt the time offensive lineman Jalin Barnett spent working against him has paid dividends.
